Two Tickets...with Club Sauce

...To the Gun Show

Howdy,

Since last roll call I have been quite the busy(ish) bee. I spent last weekend down in Houston with Lennie, saw Callie and met Daniel, Lennie's boyfriend, Colby and Alex. I went to a dinner at Callie's house on the friday and met some of Lennie and Callie's running team, in fact I was the only person not on the team, or of the male gender, there. I was in my element, kinda. On Saturday we watched college football, University of Texas versus Ohio State, which is sort of a big deal over here as they are the best two teams in the nation. After the match I went to an 80's party at Rice(lennie's uni) and looked about as 80's as a traffic cone...feel free to use that analogy. Good time was had by all, except the guy who we passed on the way out who had apparently passed out. Ouch.

Sunday was exactly like a Sunday at home, I sat on the couch for extended periods and then had Greek food for dinner, exactly like a Sunday at home...

On Monday I said goodbye to Lennie, the guy's and the couch that had been my home for three nights(so very comfy) and travelled back to Austin by bus. That night I also managed to extend my trip, so I am now staying in the US until November 5th. Woohoo!!

Tuesday, and the Tool concert was on the horizon, or so I thought!
Turns out the singer got sick and they have postponed the concert so hopefully I will be able to go to the rescheduled one, whenever that maybe. fingers crossed. On the positive side at least I didn't drive all the way to San Antonio before I found out the news.

So, this weekend is ACL, Austin City Limits, which should be absolutely fantastic. The Shins are playing on Saturday which I am very much looking forward too.

I hope everyone is well, sorry about the lack of pictures but I forgot to take my camera to Houston so I don't really have any recent photos. byebye,
